THE BANK STATEMENT
(Norfolk Daily News)
Put a bank statement in the hands
of the average man and he can’t get
much out of it. It is a sort ef Chin
ese puzzle to him. He might as well
read it upside down as right side up
so far as getting any sense from it is
concerned. The terms are unfamiliar
to him and he doesn’t know how to
check off one item with another so as
to get at the real substance of the re
port. He lays it down just as ignor
ant as to the real condition of the
bank as he was when he picked it up.
There is no business in which the
confidence of the community is a
greater asset than the banking busi
ness. The banks ought, therefore, to
be interested in helping the public on
which it depends to understand just
what their statement means.
There has just come to this office
a statement of the O’Neill National
Bank, S. J. Weewes, president, which
is a model that other banks might
well copy. In the printed folder, un
der each item of the statement, there
is a plain easily understood explana
tion of what the terms and figures
mean. Anyone who goes over the
statement, whether he has any fam
iliarity with the banking business or
not, knows just what he is reading.
This takes the mystery out of the
bank statement, and when you take
the mystery out of a thing you es
tablish confidence in it.
If other banks would follow this
practice of interpreting their bank
statements frankly to their patrons
they would be educating the public
and putting a solider foundation of
confidence under the banking system.

obliged to furnish his own shells.
Turkeys, geese and ducks were award

manship. Recently our gun club pur

M>,850 CATHOLIC MEMBERS
IN THE OMAHA DIOCESE
Returns from the first complete
census ever taken in the Catholic dio
cese of Omaha show that 90,850 mem
bers of that church reside in the dio
cesan boundaries, according to Mon
signor Jus, Stenson of Omaha, vicar
general of the diocese. The census
was taken by an organization of
three thousand volunteer workers,
men and women. Tabulations of re
ports from the 140 parishes in the 23
counties within the diocese was com
pleted Wednesday.
The census discloses that 21,203
Catholic families were enrolled in the
census and that 56,312 individuals
are over 16 years of age.
For convenience the diocese was di
vided for the census into six districts.
The census figures for each district
were:
Omaha district, 46,968; Norfolk,
11,5*42; Hartington, 9,567; Columbus,
8,572; West Point, 8,421, and O’Neill,
5,380.
The census shows that one-fifth of
Omaha’s population is Catholic, as
11,360 families, including 44,631 in
dividuals, were recorded in the 35
local parishes within the city limits.
The federal census estimate of Oma
ha’s population for July 1, 1928, was
222,800 residents.
The total number of Catholics in
the diocese outside of Omaha are
9,843 families and 46,219 individuals.
The census was taken at the re
quest of Bishop Joseph F. Rummel,
who came to Omaha a year and a half
ago from New York. He requested
that the census be taken in order
that the needs of the diocese, along
religious, educational and charitable
lines might be surveyed.
WOMANS CLUB NOTES
The regular club meeting of the
Literary department was held at the
club room Wednesday afternoon.
"Street Scene,” by Elmer L. Rice,
was reviewed by Mrs. J. J. Harring
ton in her inimitable manner and the
discussion led by Mrs. F. J. Dishner,
who impresed her hearers with the
thought and study given her subject
She reviewed it from a psychological
and sociological viewpoint. This par
ticular scene was laid in the poorer
tenement districts of New York City
where the flotsam and jetsam of
European countries become amal
gamated into American citizenry. Do
these sordid surroundings create the
depraved individuals pictured or will
the person with the proper inherit
ance surmount all obstacles as found
in his lending character? The age-old
problem—just something for us to
think about.

automobiles. This mature background
accounts for its sound basic design.
Superior Performance
The New Oakland has an 85-horse
power engine. This is the highest power
ever employed in a car of Oakland's
beweral'motors size and weight, racing cars excepted.
Oakland develops one horsepower to
37 pounds of car weight. That's why few
cars are as fast. That's why few, if any,
can pass it on the hills. That's why it ac
celerates so rapidly. In fact, that is
With its| high speed and fast accelera
tion, the new Oakland Combines the
smoothness resulting from the overlap
ping power impulses inherent ih eight
cylinder design. This smoothness is inten
sified by such features as its complete
down-draft fuel distribution, its patented
laminated spring and rubber engine
mountings and a new type of cylinder
head which assures uniform combustion.
Only a close inspection and a demon
